I expect the Flames to finish 28th. IF we trade Kadri, Andersson or Weegar, then maybe we come dead last. Bennett is still our highest ever draft pick at #4, I could see us matching that this year.

I think we could surprise a few people depending on goaltending and how the defence holds up, but I agree we're probably looking to be in that bottom 10 of the standings.

Yeah I doubt we bottom out like Chicago, San Jose, Columbus. I think we surprise and battle for a wildcard till January and then start falling down.
I think Kuzmenko and Mantha get traded 100%, maybe Andersson if he does not want to stick around for the rebuild, but I alswasy thought of him as the next Captain of the Flames.
One thing ill say is when the Flames have no expectations, that is when they start playing well lmao

I think our success this year depends almost entirely on Wolf

We have two goaltenders who'll be competing for that top spot this year. Make no mistake, Wolf doesn't have the starters net guaranteed.

The new PxP guy for the flames is Jon Abbott

What happened to Rick Ball? Thought he was pretty good.

Rick went to Chicago to broadcast the Blackhawks. I like this guy's sound. Curious about his chemistry with Kelly.

That's too bad. I had always hoped Rick Ball would get promoted to HNIC and Singh could go away.

With him now being in the Sportsnet fold, I'm wonder if Jon does take some work away from Singh. People are not fans of Singh but I don't mind him at all.
With Amazon doing the Monday Night Hockey, they've teased their broadcast crew but I don't think their studio crew, so still some things to settle yet.

Flames have 7 games on a Monday this season. That's less then 10% of games.

I guess I wasn't speaking about the flames, point was really to do with Monday's NHL broadcasting change in general.

So Monday games are exclusively on Amazon?

That I do not know, broadcast schedule usually comes out Early-to-Mid-September. Being that it is only seven games on Monday's I could see them being Amazon Exclusive if they do a East-West doubleheader.
